Mezzanine Floor Fire Rating

Fire protection is an important part towards building regulations acceptance. It's dependant on a number of things and listed below will give you a guide to see if your floor will need it.

The mezzanine floors fire protection usually includes a 60-minute fire rated suspended ceiling installed to the underside of the mezzanine, with a fascia / bulk head to all exposed sides of mezzanine floor. (fascia / bulk head fills the void between the ceiling and underside of the 38mm chipboard decking on all exposed sides)

Each column that support the mezzanine floor will have a PVC cladding to them again, to give them a 60-minute fire rating.

The diagram below is a simple guide to if your project will require fire-rating, however we always recommend speaking to us as fire-rating and building regulations is a complex matter.
